Physicians prescribe Bayer’s blood thinner Xarelto to prevent blood clots and protect from strokes. But the drug may also cause irreversible internal bleeding that can lead to hospitalization and death. Lawsuits filed against Bayer claim the company failed to properly warn consumers about the potential for serious, life-threatening side effects.

About the Xarelto Lawsuit

After the link of prolonged use of Actos and Bladder Cancer arose the lawsuits began in 2011. Many patients suffered physically, emotionally and financially due to the negligence of the manufacturers Takeda and Eli Lilly. Terrence Allen went to court in April 2014 after he was diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2011. He had been taking Actos since 2006 to treat his Type 2 diabetes. A jury ultimately awarded Allen and his wife $1.5 million in damages. Allen’s settlement is a good sign for the thousands of Actos cases still awaiting trial, patients who have been impacted deserve compensation from the manufactures.
